Ingredients
4 slices thick-cut bacon
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 3/4 lbs.)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. ranch seasoning
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Return skillet to medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
3. Reduce heat to medium, sprinkle chicken with ranch seasoning, and top with mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
4. Crumble and sprinkle bacon and chives on top before serving.
